42 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, September 8, 1953 QUARTERBACK WALLY FUT: The Oshawa Red Raiders stag- ed a rare comeback last Satur- day afternoon to come within an "ace" of downing last year's champion Peterboro Orfuns. Wal- ly Futa, shown above calling of- fensive signals in the quarter- back spot, was one of four quart- erbacks used by Coach Wedley in the tussle. Without Mr. (now revealed as ex-Varsity star Bruce Miles) the line held re- "CALLS SIGNALS FOR 1953 RED RAIDERS markably well and the Raiders made it a close 1-5 game when the dust had settled.

HERE WEDNESDAY Transporters Nip Midland 4-1 In Thrill-Packed Opener MIDLAND -- Oshawa Transport- ers scored a brilliant 4-1 win over Midland Indians here Labor Day afternoon in the first game of their 2-0f-3 OBA Intermediate "A" play- off series. It was a pitcher's battle all the way with right-hander Gord Dy- ment of the tribe facing the Trans- porter lefty, Jack Durston. Dyment struckout 15 batters in a eat fastball pitching display and imited the local power-boys to but nine hits. The locals however bunched the bingles and punched over the runs. Durston fanned five, but allow- ed only six well-scattered hits for one run to win himself another great game. HERE TOMORROW Midland play the second and what could be final game of the series here in Oshawa Wednesday night at Civic Stadium at 8.00 p.m. The Indians opened the scoring in the game with a single run in the last of the third. With one out, 'Buck' Rogers tripled to right. He was forced at the plate when Dy- ment hit to the shortstop. Jack Beauchamp and Con Adams followed with consecutive singles to push over the run. Gerry PETES WIN 12-5 Late Rally By Red Raiders Fails To Find Orfun Goal The 1953 edition of the Oshawa Red Raiders came as close as anyone to besting the Peterboro Orfuns, last year's Eastern Canada champions, losing 12-5 in their home opener at the Stadium Sat- urday. The locals did it without the services of allcollegiate guard, Rev. Bruce Miles... . the team's Mr. "X". The final score was 125 . . . and the locals had the ball twice on the enemy one-yard line in the last half and couldn't just push it over for the big scores that would have given them a big upset win. Peterboro carried the major portion of the play in the first half with a finely integrated ground attack mixed with the odd pass. They scored their first point in the opening minutes of the game when Hodson kicked behind the goal-line to Jimmy Loreno. husky little scatback tried to run it out, but was trapped and rouged to make the score 1-0. The | Ken Halsall's quick kicks kept the Orfuns at bay all through the first quarter and with Loreno run- ning the ball well, the Raiders played par until the half-way point in the second period. That was when Gerry McGillis and Bill Huntley started their off- tackle plunging.r The two guys, directed by quarter Jim Milligan ploughed their way from the Osh- awa 30, where they took over on a third down, right down to the one. Huntley went over and with Bark's good conversion, the score was 7-0. Oshawa played poor ball to the half and the Petes struck hard and fast. Groves plunged to the Oshawa 35 after a funble by the locals. MeGillis carried it to the 20 and Jim Milligan passed to Buster Jensen down to the two-yard line. GOAL-LINE STAND The Raiders held for two downs at that point in a great goal-line stand ..the first real evidence of Raider power in the game. Huntley finally cracked over and TWO: ORFUNS STOP BERGERSON Roy Bergerson, outstanding member of Randle and Bergerson who led the Raiders last year, is shown above being tackled by Peter- boro Orfuns after he caught a short pass over the line in the the end duo 3 third quarter. Bergie is the guy doubled up in middle of that pile. The Raiders play next Sat- urday in Cobourg and are ex- pected to come up with their first win of the season. Times-Gazette Staff Photo. Stark's Bantams Oust Peterboro In Two Games Oshawa Starks Plumbers scor- ed a twin-win over the weekend in| their OBA Bantam "A" series with OSHAWA Peterboro and ousted the Liftlock | City crew in straight games. MONDAY made the score 12-0. The Oshawa line, led by Wood, Harper and Khnihisky broke up |: the conversion attempt and the score remained 12-0. Just before the minute flag went down for the half, Jim "Red" Hood hit for the longest gain of the game. He raced 90 yards down the sidelines to be stopped in the last three yards by the, Orfun safetyman. Loreno tried to plunge the re- mainder of the way for the major, but was knocked back for a loss. An Oshawa pass attempt was very poor and Gord Beatty intercepted to pull the Orfuns out of trouble. After half-time, it was a case of both clubs going at it hammer and tongs. Neither side did much advancing of the ball in the third quarter, though Halsall did hit Tom Krawec with two passes for first downs. Futa clicked with a heave to Johnny Randle as the quarter ended and the Oshawa crew was starting to move. A quick-kick by Halsall set the | Petes back on their heels. Peter- boro had to kick back from deep in their own zone, and managed to get the ball to their 45. Halsall passed to Hood for a short gain, and then he hit Krawec with a long pass down to the Peterboro five-yard line. Loreno plunged to the one-yard line and then an end-run by Hood set the club back on the two. ' OSHAWA'S MAJOR Halsall then called for a pass into the flat to Loreno. Jim went wide to the left and was in the clear when Ken hit him neatly for the touchdown. The convert was blocked 'and the score read 12-5. The Raiders were still pushin hard and minutes later Halsa mixed 'em up again with a statue of liberty hand-off to Jim - Hood that set the pall down on the Peterboro 25. Penalties hit the locals about that time, but even so they kicked into the Pete's end zone. Huntley fan it out and then plunged to the 5 Play moved around centre-field at that point and two Oshawa players halted an Orfun advance in the last seconds of play. They were Roger Barrett and Don Harper. Safetyman - Marton was also hot on the tail of all plays with "Coon" Wood showing well at all times. It was a great opener against the toughest opposition in the league or in the East. .and with the addition of Mr. X--Bruce Miles and the solviig of the quarterback problem, the team will without doubt be right in the top bracket.

Jack Durston (left) southpaw- ed his way to a great 4-1 win over Midland Indian Monday af- ternoon, and gave the Transport- ers a 1-0 lead in the 2-out-of-3 OBA Intermediate "A" series. Ted Barnes (right) clubbed the ball around with more authority than he has in some time and led the locals. The two teams meet in what could be the final game, at Civic Stadium Wednes- day at 8 p.m. "CHECKING | SPORT By BOB RIFE Fitzhenry, former Peter Fan clean- ers junior star in the NTBA, grounded out to end the rally. The Transporters took a 2-1 lead in the top of the fourth when Frank Varga walked and stole sec- ond. Ted Barnes singled down the thirdbase line and Varga scored from second when the het corner man, Ted Brady, came up with a 'skull". Fred Etcher followed with a sin- gle to left to put men on first and second with none out and one run in. Cleanup batter Bunny Mae- son doubled into left centre and Barnes made the plate with the second run for a 2-1 score. Etcher held at third and then the next three men went down in order to end the threat. VARGA SALTS IT George Brabin poked a single into left field to open the fifth inning. He made second on a pass- ed ball and scored when Frank Varga slapped out the second dou- ble of the game for the Transport- ers. That made it 3-1. Oshawa put in an insurance marker in the eighth inning when Ted Barnes singled, made second on a passed ball, went to third on a ground out and scored on Mae- son's single to left. Midland's best surges came in the sixth, seventh and Adams singled and stole second. Fitzhenry flied to right and then Desroches singled to right. Mroc- zek fielded the ball perfectly and tossed to McArthur at the plate to nip the runner coming down and end that rally. In the seventh, a quick 6-3 double play --- shortstop unassisted to the firstbaseman, ended a threat. Frank Varga in the hole raced to second and fired over to Maeson for the twin - killing in truly scin- tillating style. In the eighth, Rogers made first on an error . . . the lone Oshawa miscue of the game. Dyment promptly went down on strikes and Rogers was out trying to steal when Dyment was swinging at the last one. McArthur pegged to Etch- er for the out. Beauchamp popped R Varga and that inning was end- ed. The Transporters got men in | scoring position in the eighth and ninth, but were cut down both times by smart fielding. It was a great opener to what should be a fine series.

The Transporters scored a tight 4-1 win over Midland In- dians in the first game of their OBA Intermediate "A" play-off series in Midland yes- terday afternoon with some 1600 fans looking on. Jack Durston bested former Pony League star Gord Dy- ment in a real pitcher's battle. Dyment collected 15 strikeouts and allowed nine hits. Durston fanned but five, but gave up just six hits. To our way of thinking, the second game of the set, scihed- uled for the Stadium tomorrow evening at 8 p.m. (Wednesday that is) will be a hum-dinger. As for the Red Raiders, eve en without Mons. X-- one Bruce Miles (Now you know!!) they look like one big aggrega- tion. The thing that impressed the large crowd of fans, was the comeback from a 12-0 hopeless deficit at the half to a 12-5 count and two near misses on the Peterboro goal-line. Coach Wedley, minus Miles, did a great shuffling job with the offensive and defensive lines. Besides that worry, he had the problem of playing three quarterbacks to see which was the best. Miles, suffering from a sprained wrist says, "I'd rath- er wait it out till next game and be sure I won't do it any- more damage." FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OTTAWA (CP)--Mr. Justice R.L.
